The passion for technology can lead you to choose the specialisation of Computer Science. This field has become increasingly popular in recent years, the development being so rapid that people are trying to keep up with it.
A Computer Science degree deals with the theoretical and practical foundations of information technology and computers. The scientific part merges with the practical one in various algorithms, information processing or in computational models. This specialisation often aims to study methodological processes, making representations on a computer, storage, or accessing information.
At the same time, the study of Computer Science focuses on the learning of programming languages, which are extremely important for any student. Python, C ++, Java are just a few of the programming languages that are explored in depth by students in order to solve the applications received from the faculty. Furthermore, on the labour market, programming languages are highly appreciated and integrated, being a useful tool for optimal performance of industries.
The most important skill that young people learn following this degree is the use of programming languages. Once they grasp the logic of programming, they will easily be able to master the languages and build or develop WEB applications. Additional skills that are acquired can be: network design and engineering, software engineering, multimedia design. In addition, classical skills such as teamwork, leadership, problem-solving or time management are also gained by students.
According to recent studies, 6 of the 10 best jobs chosen by graduates are linked to Computer Science. These include Web Design, Computer Support Specialist, IT Operations Technician or Database Administrator. Moreover, the employment rate is favourable to the students, being over 70%. Due to the rapid advancement of technology, it is expected that the supply will grow in the future, requiring computer science specialists in any field.
To study Computer Science, students can either pursue university courses or follow courses online, depending on their availability and income. Online or outside-university courses include disciplines such as: Information Systems Management, Game Programming, Web Development, Network Fundamentals. They usually have a duration of 2 years. Although these courses provide important skills in this specialisation, students may be disadvantaged when competing with a student who has a Bachelor’s Degree. Some of the most important campuses in the world include Penn State World Campus, University of Massachusetts, Lowell (The Division of Online Learning and Continuing Education), Saint Leo University.
The Bachelor in Computer Science lasts around 3 to 4 years, depending on the university. Throughout the programme, students acquire mathematical knowledge, theoretical and practical foundation in programming. Some of the subjects discussed are: Computer Programming, Data Structures, Databases, Algorithms, Linear Algebra, Probability Theory or Statistics. These vary according to the curriculum of the university.
A Master’s program complete the students’ necessary career skills. In this way, they have a greater understanding of computing softwares, tools, packages, and computer architecture.
There are Master programs that can be followed even by those who have not undertaken undergraduate studies in Computer Science, such as those offered at the University of Birmingham for example. These programs can take either 2 to 5 years.
A PhD program is especially dedicated to those who want to research or become university professors and can last between 4 to 5 years.
In the past period, the University of Tuzla, together with all other universities, has faced this challenge. Unfortunately, if you look at the whole situation, online teaching should not involve sharing homework, essays and presentations. The professors did not cope with this task, and I think that they needed additional education.

Great University! Good education.
What should I say about my Uni? It’s not honey and milk and it is not all the way bad. Why is not bad to the bone? Because there are few Faculties that are working their ass off for their students, one example is Faculty of Electrical Engineering. Even them have their problems, and when I say that I mean they have a lot of problems but at least they are doing something better than any other part of Uni.
Like my title says, ancient times requires ancient technologies, and this is not only about tech we are using for our lab work or in our classes, its about professors too. There is a lot of old professors who are not willing to make their lectures interesting to their audience and they are ignoring everything that students want or they think it is better. We are still in 1970’s with any organization of classes, exams, lab works and many others.
Students from Med Faculty are working on bodies where they can’t see anything and can’t learn anything. People from Faculty of Electrical Engineering don’t have normal PC’s to work on and I shouldn’t mention other equipment from Yugoslavia.
The thing is, there are many professors and assistants that are willing to help students in times of need, but others are just there to put their presentation on a projector and try to “educate” students about their subject, which is not working well. After that, don’t even mail them, call them or let them know you need something. The big part of this is that many of them are still thinking that students are there because of them and not that they are there because of students. If you look at statistics you can see that every year there is less and less people on this public University while students are going on private University where things are quite better then here.
At the end, probably one of the worst reasons for such a bad rate for this Uni is politics. Because of the really complex organization of our government and many subsections of it, there are Cantons and one of them, Tuzla Canton, is where University of Tuzla takes place. With many nationalistic parties in politics which are bad for the country itself, University is occupied with people who don’t know to work their job and they are there only because they are a member of that politic party. So, in few words, politics are present on University of Tuzla even tho by the Statute of UNTZ they shouldn’t be. Like many things in this country this one is falling down with everything else and it is because the government with bought diploma’s from private Universities can decide what is the best option for public University and what is not.
Why I didn’t go to EU and study there? Because I was young and stupid.
View moreCourse is much better than I expected. Thing we learn are very good basic for our improvement in future life and work.
I most like classes that are connected to programming, OOP and computer architecture(assembly and kernel code).
I would most definitelly recommend it and I recommend it to all my friends who gain intrest in computer science.
This is a great University for anyone who wants to learn and expand his horizon. The best thing at this University is the support that teachers give the students and also the students support and help each other. I would highly recommend University of Tuzla and the city itself is also really great, because it makes your studying a bit easier too.
View moreWe are in Bosnia and Herzegovina and everything within our borders is confusing for outcomers. Too many people work in administration and you can’t say that because oou how sluggish they are. Important roles are being assigned based on political activity of candidates. Our facilites are in really bad condition. Nobody cares. Even if it sounds bad we are still in top three universities in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Yet, there are many exceptions like awesome teachers, hard working students, positive energy and great education. You can learn a lot and be ready for real life challenges. In the end our students work for big companies and easily work abroad because of quality they got throughout college, and they are good people. I guess that’s what counts.
We are still based on old system that we inheritet from Yugoslavia. It was a great system back then, but there is no any modernisation and progress in teaching process, that can cleary separate two decades of improvements. We need more open-minded teachers, not some old guys who does not now what projector or digital blackboard is.
